偵測單元140電連接於攝像單元130與處理單元180之間，包括動態偵測模塊142及人臉偵測模塊144。當電子設備100處於待機狀態時，動態偵測模塊142用於回應第一狀態訊號並根據攝像單元130獲取的連續影像判斷監控物件是否出現異常。在本實施例中，動態偵測模塊142根據獲取的連續影像判斷監控物件中存在移動物體時確定監控物件出現異常。具體而言，動態偵測模塊142先從攝像單元130所拍攝的連續圖像中獲取監控物件的當前圖像和上一張圖像，並計算出當前圖像和上一張圖像的特徵值。然後，動態偵測模塊142將當前圖像與上一張圖像的特徵值進行模糊匹配，以找出當前圖像與上一張圖像的相符區域。最後，動態偵測模塊142將當前圖像和上一張圖像的相符區域的特徵值進行精確匹配，並將特徵值不同的部分標示為所述監控物件的動態區域，如此，該標示出的動態區域作為監控物件中的移動物體。 The detecting unit 140 is electrically connected between the camera unit 130 and the processing unit 180, and includes a motion detecting module 142 and a face detecting module 144. When the electronic device 100 is in the standby state, the motion detection module 142 is configured to respond to the first state signal and determine whether the monitoring object is abnormal according to the continuous image acquired by the camera unit 130. In this embodiment, the motion detection module 142 determines that an abnormality occurs in the monitored object when there is a moving object in the monitored object according to the acquired continuous image. Specifically, the motion detection module 142 first acquires the current image and the previous image of the monitored object from the continuous images captured by the imaging unit 130, and calculates the feature values of the current image and the previous image. . Then, the motion detection module 142 performs fuzzy matching on the current image and the feature value of the previous image to find a matching region between the current image and the previous image. Finally, the motion detection module 142 accurately matches the feature values of the current image and the matching region of the previous image, and marks the portion with different feature values as the dynamic region of the monitored object, and thus, the labeled The dynamic area acts as a moving object in the monitored object.

人臉偵測模塊144用於當動態偵測模塊142偵測到移動物體時，利用人臉識別技術，在該移動物體中偵測是否存在人臉，並當存在人臉時產生監控訊號。其中，所述人臉偵測模塊144可利用膚色理論(如YCbCr色彩空間模型)從該移動物體中偵測人臉，也可 以利用臉部特徵樣本技術(Face Template Matching)或其他面部識別技術從該物體中偵測人臉。 The face detection module 144 is configured to use the face recognition technology to detect whether a face exists in the moving object when the motion detection module 142 detects the moving object, and generate a monitoring signal when the face exists. The face detection module 144 can detect a human face from the moving object by using a skin color theory (such as a YCbCr color space model). The face is detected from the object using Face Template Matching or other facial recognition techniques.

此外，當電子設備100處於工作狀態時，偵測單元140偵測用戶使用電子設備100的狀態，並當用戶使用電子設備100出現異常時產生提示資訊。在本實施例中，當用戶眼皮在預設時間段(例如，60秒)中跳動的次數小於預定值(例如，三次)時，表示用戶使用電子設備100出現異常，此時，用戶處於睡眠狀態。具體而言，當電子設備100處於工作狀態且人臉偵測模塊144偵測到人臉存在時，動態偵測模塊142還用於回應第二狀態訊號以進一步偵測人臉中眼皮的跳動資料，並當用戶眼皮在預設時間段中跳動的次數小於預定值時產生第一提示訊號，以提醒用戶，從而防止用戶在使用電子設備100的過程中因用戶進入睡眠狀態而造成不必要的能源浪費。此外，用戶有可能在使用電子設備100的過程中因不知不覺進入睡眠狀態，極易受涼。 In addition, when the electronic device 100 is in the working state, the detecting unit 140 detects the state in which the user uses the electronic device 100, and generates prompt information when the user uses the electronic device 100 to have an abnormality. In this embodiment, when the number of times the user's eyelid jumps in a preset time period (for example, 60 seconds) is less than a predetermined value (for example, three times), it indicates that the user uses the electronic device 100 to be abnormal, and at this time, the user is in a sleep state. . Specifically, when the electronic device 100 is in the working state and the face detecting module 144 detects the presence of the human face, the motion detecting module 142 is further configured to respond to the second state signal to further detect the jumping data of the eyelid in the face. And generating a first prompt signal when the number of times the user's eyelid beats in the preset time period is less than a predetermined value, to remind the user, thereby preventing the user from unnecessary energy during the use of the electronic device 100 due to the user entering the sleep state. waste. In addition, it is possible for the user to be in a sleep state due to unknowingly in the process of using the electronic device 100, and it is extremely susceptible to cold.

溫度感測單元170用於當電子設備100處於工作狀態時，測試用戶的體溫T並當用戶的體溫T超出一預設範圍T0時產生第二提示訊號。其中，該預設範圍T0為人的正常體溫範圍。當用戶體溫T超出一預設範圍T0時，表明用戶在使用電子設備100時其健康狀態出現異常。此外，溫度感測單元170還用於即時偵測電子設備100周圍的環境溫度(室溫)。 The temperature sensing unit 170 is configured to test the user's body temperature T when the electronic device 100 is in the working state and generate a second prompt signal when the user's body temperature T exceeds a predetermined range T0. The preset range T0 is a normal body temperature range of the person. When the user's body temperature T exceeds a predetermined range T0, it indicates that the user's health state is abnormal when the electronic device 100 is used. In addition, the temperature sensing unit 170 is also used to instantly detect the ambient temperature (room temperature) around the electronic device 100.

提示單元160用於產生提示資訊以提醒用戶。其中，所述提示資訊可以以語音、語音與文字相結合或語音與閃爍燈相結合等形式呈現。例如，提示單元160產生語音提示資訊：請關閉電源，並將“請關閉電源”以文字的形式顯示在電子設備100的顯示幕( 未示出)上。 The prompting unit 160 is configured to generate prompt information to remind the user. The prompt information may be presented in the form of a combination of voice, voice and text, or a combination of voice and flashing lights. For example, the prompting unit 160 generates a voice prompt information: please turn off the power, and display "Please turn off the power" in the form of text on the display screen of the electronic device 100 ( Not shown).

處理單元180用於當接收偵測訊號時將攝像單元130所攝取的影像藉由通訊單元150經由通信網路200(如圖1所示)發送至預設位置。其中，預設位置可是是預設裝置，例如，用戶隨身攜帶的通信設備300(如圖1所示)，也可以是預設位址，例如，電子郵箱位址。這樣，當用戶不在家時，可及時瞭解家中發生的異常情況。此外，處理單元180還用於當接收第一提示訊號或第二提示訊號時控制提示單元160產生語音提示。例如，當處理單元180接收到第一提示訊號時，處理單元180控制提示單元160產生第一語音提示：您處於犯睏狀態，建議關閉電源後睡覺並防止著涼。例如，當處理單元180接收到第二提示訊號時，處理單元180控制提示單元160產生第二語音提示：您的體溫出現異常，請關注自身健康。此外，處理單元180還用於將溫度感測單元170偵測到的環境溫度(室溫)顯示於顯示螢幕上，以便用戶在使用電子設備100的過程中，能即時瞭解環境溫度的變化。 The processing unit 180 is configured to send the image captured by the camera unit 130 to the preset location via the communication network 200 (shown in FIG. 1) by the communication unit 150 when receiving the detection signal. The preset location may be a preset device, for example, the communication device 300 (shown in FIG. 1) carried by the user, or may be a preset address, for example, an email address. In this way, when the user is not at home, the abnormal situation occurring in the home can be known in time. In addition, the processing unit 180 is further configured to control the prompting unit 160 to generate a voice prompt when receiving the first prompt signal or the second prompt signal. For example, when the processing unit 180 receives the first prompt signal, the processing unit 180 controls the prompting unit 160 to generate a first voice prompt: you are in a sleepy state, suggesting to turn off the power and sleep to prevent cold. For example, when the processing unit 180 receives the second prompt signal, the processing unit 180 controls the prompting unit 160 to generate a second voice prompt: your body temperature is abnormal, please pay attention to your own health. In addition, the processing unit 180 is further configured to display the ambient temperature (room temperature) detected by the temperature sensing unit 170 on the display screen, so that the user can instantly understand the change of the ambient temperature during the use of the electronic device 100.

步驟S240，動態偵測模塊142根據攝像單元130獲取的連續影像判斷監控物件是否存在移動物體。若存在移動物體，流程進入步驟S250；若不存在移動物體，則返回步驟S240。 In step S240, the motion detection module 142 determines, according to the continuous image acquired by the camera unit 130, whether the monitored object has a moving object. If there is a moving object, the flow proceeds to step S250; if there is no moving object, the flow returns to step S240.

步驟S250，人臉偵測模塊144利用人臉識別技術偵測該移動物體中偵測是否存在人臉。若存在人臉，流程進入步驟S260；若不存在人臉，則返回至步驟S240。 In step S250, the face detection module 144 detects the presence or absence of a human face in the moving object by using a face recognition technology. If there is a face, the flow proceeds to step S260; if there is no face, the process returns to step S240.

步驟S260，處理單元180藉由通訊單元150將攝像單元130拍攝到的連續影像傳送至預設位置。這樣，當用戶不在家時，可及時瞭解家中發生的異常情況。其中，預設裝置可以是用戶隨身攜帶的手機，預設位置可以電子郵箱位址。 In step S260, the processing unit 180 transmits the continuous image captured by the imaging unit 130 to the preset position by the communication unit 150. In this way, when the user is not at home, the abnormal situation occurring in the home can be known in time. The preset device may be a mobile phone carried by the user, and the preset location may be an email address.

步驟S270，溫度感測單元170測試用戶的體溫T以及人臉偵測模塊144根據攝像單元130獲取的連續影像獲取用戶的人臉資訊。 In step S270, the temperature sensing unit 170 tests the user's body temperature T and the face detection module 144 to obtain the user's face information according to the continuous image acquired by the camera unit 130.

步驟S280，溫度感測單元170進一步偵測用戶的體溫T是否超出一預設範圍。若偵測用戶的體溫T超出一預設範圍，流程進入步驟S290。若偵測用戶的體溫T未超出一預設範圍，流程進入步驟S400。 In step S280, the temperature sensing unit 170 further detects whether the user's body temperature T exceeds a predetermined range. If it is detected that the user's body temperature T exceeds a predetermined range, the flow proceeds to step S290. If it is detected that the user's body temperature T does not exceed a predetermined range, the flow proceeds to step S400.

步驟S290，動態偵測模塊142根據獲取的人臉資訊判斷用戶眼皮在預設時間段(例如，60秒)中跳動的次數是否小於預定值(例如，三次)。若用戶眼皮在預設時間段中跳動的次數小於預定值。若用戶眼皮在預設時間段中跳動的次數小於預定值，則流程進入步驟S300；若用戶眼皮在預設時間段中跳動的次數大於或等於預定值，則返回步驟S290。 In step S290, the motion detection module 142 determines, according to the acquired face information, whether the number of times the user's eyelid is beating in a preset time period (for example, 60 seconds) is less than a predetermined value (for example, three times). If the user's eyelids are beating for a preset period of time less than a predetermined value. If the number of times the user's eyelid jumps in the preset time period is less than the predetermined value, the flow proceeds to step S300; if the number of times the user's eyelid jumps in the preset time period is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the process returns to step S290.
